Interface: a journal for and about social movements Issue 3/1 advance Volume 2 (2): 288 - 367 (November 2010) Mac Sheoin, Policing and repression Policing and repression of anti-globalization protests and movements: a bibliography of English-language material Tomás Mac Sheoin Note The following bibliography assembles a variety of material –from the news media, the movement, academia and the security forces- on the policing and repression of the anti-globalization movement (AGM). The following should be noted: Material included. There is a massive literature on the AGM, much of which deals with these issues en passant. Only sources with these issues at their core are cited. Material not included. Given the subject of the bibliography it should come as no surprise that certain parts of the literature are underrepresented due to the lack of enthusiasm, for example, of certain sectors of the security forces in making documentation publicly available. Readers are invited to visit the websites of two international programmes – the UN’s International Permanent Observatory on Security During Major Events (http://lab.unicri.it/ipo.html) and the EU’s EU-SEC, Coordinating National Programmes on Security during Major Events in Europe (www.eu-sec.org) – and note that, while most programmes these organisations fund bristle with freely-available reports, reports are strangely unavailable from these sites. Material on the media demonisation of the AGM – basic to security force and state management of the movement – has not been included and hopefully will be the subject of a further bibliography. Material on the Internet. Wherever possible, a free downloadable Internet address is given for material. For internet sources, date of access is given. In the (not totally unlikely) case of these sources disappearing, a further Internet search may be worthwhile, as at least some of these sources appear on multiple sites. Bias of the material. The bibliography mirrors the literature in that it is biased towards experience in core countries. Draft nature of the work. This is a first draft and the compiler would welcome communications that drew his attention to sources he has failed to cite.
